UDATE 02/01/09: I just read the following on the aafp.org website and I shouldn't have...I don't think I am going to sleep much tonight... On the "orders" the doctor gave us to give to the hospital in the morning under "reason for exam" she wrote "bulging fontenelle" and when I searhed that this is what came up:
"The diagnosis of an abnormal fontanel requires an understanding of the wide variation of normal. At birth, an infant has six fontanels. The anterior fontanel is the largest and most important for clinical evaluation. The average size of the anterior fontanel is 2.1 cm, and the median time of closure is 13.8 months. The most common causes of a large anterior fontanel or delayed fontanel closure are achondroplasia, hypothyroidism, Down syndrome, increased intracranial pressure, and rickets. A bulging anterior fontanel can be a result of increased intracranial pressure or intracranial and extracranial tumors, and a sunken fontanel usually is a sign of dehydration. A physical examination helps the physician determine which imaging modality, such as plain films, ultrasonography, computed tomographic scan, or magnetic resonance imaging, to use for diagnosis."

Jessica, please know that your sweet Corbin is in my prayers. And you are too! If there is one thing that I've learned from bloggin' is that when you put a need out there, sisters just ban together and pray. Please know that he is on the top of my prayer chain. =Mandi
Oh my goodness, I know you must be so terrified. Please know that you and your baby are in my prayers!!!!
we will definitely keep Corbin and the family in our prayers.
Hey Jessica, I will definitely be praying for you this weekend. Remember that God has not given us a spirit of fear but of Power, Love, and a Sound Mind. That Scripture I speak constantly over my mind when I am consumed with fear. love ya.
I am praying with every fiber of my being. Trust in God and know you aren't going through this alone.
Love you!
my prayers are with you. trust in the lord and listen to his voice. know that your little guy is being lifted up in prayers from all of us, i will spread the word...
blessings to your family,

I am so sorry to hear about this! I will be praying! I pray that when they do the CT scan next week they dont see anything that at all looks like a tumor! God is a great big God and he is able to work this all out before they even do the CT scan. You are your precious boy will be in my prayers!
I am so shocked and so sorry to hear this. My heart just ached the second that Heather called me! I know in my heart that everything will be 100% ok. God is good! Please know that if you need anything at all, we are here!
Praying for all of you! See you tomorrow.
You and your family are in my prayers as well.
Praying, praying, and praying again.
I am so sorry you and your family are having to go through this. Our whole family will be praying for you and sweet Corbin!
We are lifting him up in our prayers. Hang in there Mommy.
I'm praying for your family and especially Corbin.
I'm praying, hard! I understand a mom's heart and know that you must be having a hard time. You are in my thoughts and prayers, as well as your sweet Corbin!
Jessica.....
Please do not fall apart. Let God shine through. He is in control!
I have a favorite verse that I tend to cling to when I'm feeling a little out of control!
I'll share it with you.
2 Tim. 1:7 "For God has NOT given me a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline."
Satan wants to freak you out. Don't fall for it. Fear does not come from God, EVER! Be brave, sister! Pray and believe! God can do anything...you have the power to ask for it too.
I will certainly pray for you all and Corbin. Trust Him.
Our sweet boy is in my prayers...I am so sorry to read what you are going through right now. I just saw this. Lots and lots of prayers your way...hugsssss
Oh, reading this in hindsight... just gives me the Chills, and ALL THE MORE PRAISE to our LORD!!!!
